To complete each challenge, teamscaptured creative photos to document their visits. Each photo had to include all but one teammember, the photographer, who rotated between tasks. Teams were encouraged to complete asmany prompts as possible within the lab time, with visits to three specific challenges designatedas mandatory. Each completed challenge earned one point, with additional bonus points awardedfor humor, creativity, and team spirit displayed in the photos. Points were tallied and a winnerwas

A study1of science, mathematics, and engineering majors concludes: (p.384) “All students, regardless of race or ethnicity, appreciated those departments and facultywho had given them a discipline–specific work–study opportunity or the chance to be involvedwith a research project. We found that research opportunities for any undergraduates were rareon all seven campuses. However, students who had been involved in departmental research werevery enthusiastic about their experience and felt it greatly enhanced their interest in the field.”Another book2 on retention

Awards. These awards are offered toprofessionals, artists, and people from academics at any career level. However, some awards maybe for certain types of scholars and are limited to specific career levels. In general, some awardsallow you to select the country and/or host institution while others do not permit that. Similarly,some awards require you to have a letter of support from the host institution at the time ofapplication. For the Fulbright Scholar award, there are three different categories: Teaching,Research, and Teaching-Research. The research award consists of activities related to research thatincludes scientific research, practice-based research, etc. The research work can be applied andcan take place in a laboratory, field, or an

into the expert-like practicesengineers might engage in to address challenges, but how and where engineers develop the abilityto engage in sociotechnical thinking throughout their careers is currently unclear. Sociotechnicalthinking is inherently complex, and while many engineering educators regard it as a critical skill,relatively little is understood about the learning experiences and processes needed to promotesociotechnical thinking. The purpose of this paper is to synthesize the literature on cognitivedevelopment and sociotechnical design theories and to envision a research area related to studentsand professional development of sociotechnical thinking in engineering design. In cognitivedevelopment, I highlight literature related to

[1], three common challenges that most early-career engineering faculty face arebalancing the demands of research, teaching, and other professional obligations; lack of time tocope with personal and professional responsibilities; and setting realistic goals and expectationsfor individual accomplishments. The difficulties can be more pronounced for internationalstudents, especially those who return to their home countries. Khanal and Gaulee [2] describethis readjustment as reverse culture shock.

Many critiques are based on outdated stereotypes: a 2016 surveyrevealed that 40% of parents did not see manufacturing as a good-paying employment choice fortheir children; 50% did not see manufacturing as an exciting, challenging, or engaging career [1].Even more troubling is the underrepresentation of women and minorities in manufacturing.
